ARCHAEOASTRONOMY








I started working in this field in my spare time (which is not much) in 1997, when I commenced a study on the astronomical orientation of the ancient church of St. Martin in Artegna (Friuli-Italy). This building, that has a venerable history, appears to be oriented rather precisely along the East-West direction (the deviation is only 0.7 degrees), even though the natural horizon is disturbed by the presence of some mountains.
This triggered my curiosity and, since then, I started a more systematic work in this area. Give a try to the following links to get some more details on my activities in this field.

(*) The two pictures at the top show a detail of one of the two stones that are currently inserted in the wall surrounding the St. Mary's church in Artegna (Friuli-Italy). The images of a Star and the Moon are pretty clearly visible. They have been dated as pre-roman (i.e. before 181 b.C), but the dating has been recently questioned. They are certainly not Roman...
